We Made It!!

Well, we have arrived in sunny Arizona and we are loving it. The ride was long and Jason got very tired of his car seat. However, he was a trooper. He didn't complain too much except for the last leg of the trip. Once we left Flagstaff, AZ and headed towards Phoenix, he was tired and wanted out of his car seat. Eventually he gave up and fell asleep. When we first came off the freeway here in Phoenix and we were waiting to turn on to the road our apartment is on, I had a little sick feeling. All we could see was strip clubs, rundown grocery stores, and people from every background with their shirts off and covered in tattoos. However, as drove down the road and pulled into our apartment complex it seemed like a whole other world. Our complex is very nice and everyone we have met so far as been so friendly. The view from our front living room window is beautiful. We have a view of Camelback Mountian. We have a grass area and trees in front of our apartment and it is so nice to see green grass and beautiful trees. This area reminds Kim and I both of our missions...palm trees, warm humid weather, traffic, etc. We really love Phoenix and fall in love with it more each day as we are out and about. We live fairly close to shopping, restaurants, the airport and freeways. It makes it easy to get around.

Jason and I are having fun hanging out while Kim is at work. It is a little frustrating because we only have one car and Kim drives it to work everyday. So Jason and I are stuck in the complex. But we are having a good time swimming in the pool, playing on the play ground and just walking around exploring the complex grounds. It is a really beautiful place with lots of trees, bushes, grass, etc. We have met a new dog everyday we have been out and Jason loves it. Every time he sees a dog he points and yells "daa".

Kim had the opportunity to go to the Diamondbacks game on Saturday with my dad and brother Cody. They sat only 35 rows up behind home plate!! Kim had a great time and wants to go to as many games as we can. I find this ironic because Kim has never liked baseball. He was always a good sport to watch the World Series with me but has never loved the game. I on the other hand am a HUGE fan of baseball and have been much of my life. All I can say is that I am glad that he went because now he is a fan and wants to go to every game. In fact, this Friday night is Family Friday at Chase Field and we can get in the door for $15!! I am sure that the seats are not the greatest but we don't care. It should be fun. The Diamondbacks play the San Diego Padres.

I have only taken one picture since I have been here...sad I know. I promise to take more and post them. The picture below will keep you laughing until then. Today I was arranging my closet and I sat a tote with misc clothes in it out on the floor by our bed, close to where Jason was playing. I went back into our closet and was arranging our shoes and when I came out, this is what I found.
Notice what is around his neck....a fine piece of lingerie!! So funny. I can't wait to show Kim what we did today!!

Until next time....
